Main Event: Nick Maximov defeated Albert Gonzales for the 559 Fights Middleweight Title

For all three rounds, Maximov, a master on the mat, suffocated Gonzales in his domain. Fortunately for Gonzales, Maximov was unable to secure the finish—something four previous opponents can’t claim, yet there was no escaping the Chico native’s grasp.
